Senior Software Engineer - Trading Tech

Senior Python Developer – Trading / Risk / Fintech – Amsterdam – Over 100K OTE Possible.

Are you excited about building high-stakes trading systems where accuracy and reliability are critical? Do you have experience in risk technology or financial trading environments? Our client’s Risk Tech team is developing a Risk & Alert Framework that traders will use daily—and they need your expertise to push it further.

Our client is a fast-growing cryptocurrency trading firm with offices in Amsterdam and Singapore. With a team of 110 people, they have nearly doubled in size last year. Their Risk Tech team is responsible for building internal risk and account management software—not the ultra-low latency trading systems, but the backbone that keeps everything running smoothly.

What You’ll Do

• Enhance and expand the existing Risk & Alert Framework used by traders.
• Work closely with traders and stakeholders to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
• Develop and maintain systems for risk monitoring, reporting, and alerting.
• Collaborate within the trading, mid-office, and risk teams on internal tooling.

What They’re Looking For

• Experience with Python/SQL.
• Experience in financial trading, risk, or fintech is a plus.
• Attention to detail is crucial—a single mistake can have major consequences.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills—you need to translate technical work into trader-friendly solutions. English is fine.
• Familiarity with distributed systems and WebSockets is a bonus.
• Not a specialized web developer role—this is about backend risk tech.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree (e.g., TU Delft).

Nice To Have

• Experience with C++ or Rust (especially if from a trading background).
• Background in building high-stakes financial systems.

The Offer

• Base salary: 80K – 120K (incl. holiday allowance). For juniors, this can be lower.
• Bonus.
• VISA Sponsorship & 30% Ruling.
• Hybrid work (4 days in-office).
• Work directly with traders and impact risk management strategies.

Location: Amsterdam – Only candidates in the Netherlands.
